I received my MSc in Logic from the University of Amsterdam in 2016. My last semester was spent in France at the Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse. Before coming to Amsterdam, I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a BA in Cognitive Science in 2014.

When I'm not studying formal models of collective decision making,
I knit and solve crossword puzzles. This one was particularly nice and cleverly constructed.

Teaching

In the fall of 2018 I organised a student seminar on Algorithmic Game Theory. In June 2018, I co-organised a Master of Logic (MoL) research project on Judgment Aggregation. I was the teaching assistant for the MoL/AI course on Game Theory in Spring 2017 and 2018. I was also the teaching assistant for the course on Computational Social Choice in Spring 2017.

In 2019 I will again be the teaching assistant for courses in Game Theory and Computational Social Choice.
